Presentation Title & Summary
Slow and Fast - AI facing the Humanities
Acceleration, Competition, and fear of missing out around AI today need to be triangulated with the slow pace of social, historical, and philosophical critics, and anthropological implications of the Anthropocene era. How can this approach help societies in concrete terms? What reforms should the Humanities consider to be able to respond to this historical need? This can international cooperation help?

Presentation Title & Summary
Peace and Coexistence in the Middle East : Historical Background and Realistic Alternative
The Middle East has been etched as a land of conflict and war in the 21st century. However, throughout its long history, the Middle East has been the birthplace of human civilization and the three major monotheistic religions, a region where diverse religions and ethnicities coexist within a limited ecosystem. This spirit of coexistence and mutual prosperity has led to the achievement of humanity's highest level of science and civilization, and the value of cooperation still shines today. We hope to explore the wisdom of reviving this tradition of coexistence, torn apart by political conflict and territorial disputes.
